Lydia was a member of Zion United Church of Christ (at that time Zion Evangelical and Reformed), where she taught Sunday school, was a choir member and belonged to Women’s Guild. She was an occasional organist, and enjoyed picking fresh flowers from her garden for Sunday morning service. She enjoyed playing her accordion in the area nursing homes. She was employed by Dr. Glen Gentry for many years.

Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be at a later date.
